Mr. Green lived in a village. He had a few farms and was the richest there. And he had pigs, chickens, cows and sheep. He worked in the fields with some workers, and his wife had to do all the housework at home. So she was very busy and asked her husband to employ ( 雇佣) a girl to help her, but he didn’t agree.“There are so many chickens, dear,” said the woman one day. “I can’t look after them at all.”“That’s easy,” said Mr. Green. “There’s Mr. Black’s farm outside our enclosing walls (围墙). We’d better make a few holes in the walls and the chickens will go to his farm through them and eat his vegetables.”And soon Mr. Black found it. He told Mr. Green and his wife about it. They promised that they would stop their chickens doing it, but they didn’t keep their promise at all. Mr. Black thought for a while and found a way. He put nearly 20 eggs near the holes one afternoon. And that evening, when Mrs. Black was counting her chickens, she said loudly on her farm, “Oh, I’m so lucky today!

When we see babies or pets, we can’t help touching them gently to show our love. And they give happy feelings back to us. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.A study in The Plants Journal shows that plants d on’t like to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因), and even worse, it can slow their growth. Professor Jim Whelan in Australia gave an explanation. The lightest touch from a human, an animal, or even plants touching each other in the wild, causes a big gene change in the plant.In order to test the idea, the scientists did an experiment ( 实验) on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a brush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period. They found that as a result of the touch, the mitochondria ( 线粒体) in the plants were partly broken. The mitochondria are the “power-house” of the cells (细胞). The mitochondria produce energy for the cells in both animals and plants. If this “power-house” is broken, the plants will lose lots of energy. The energy is very important for their growth. Whelan further explained, “If the touching is repeated, then the plant growth is slowed by 30 percent.”Although the touching does have a strong influence (影响) on plants, usually the plants can still be alive. _________________________Continually touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. However, in some ways, this change could be helpful. It may help plants to fight against threats from animals or bad weather.The findings of the research ( 研究) help us to have a better understanding of the plants. And the research might help with the growth of plants.【小题1】The writer wrote this article in orderto .A ．stop people from touching plantsB ．tell people to protect plantsC ．introduce (介绍) a scientist to usD ．explain a new finding about plants【小题2】What does the underlined word “threats ”mean according to the passage?A ．威胁B ．保护C ．援助D ．改变【小题3】Which of the following statements may be the missing part in Paragraph 4 ?A ．Touching changes the plants, it makes them grow more slowly until they die.B ．Touching changes the plants, but it’s not always a bad change.C ．We should protect the plants from being touched by humans or animals.D ．Scientists don’t care that touching may have a strong influence on plants at all.【小题4】Which of the following is wrong according to the passage?A ．Babies and pets liked to be touched.B ．The scientist did the experiment to test if touching can change the genes of plants.C ．The experiment lasted for four weeks.D ．Touching plants is not always bad for their growth.25. Sophie, a 14-year-old British girl, suddenly changed a lot in class. She lost her interest in study and often sat at her desk with her head down.Ethan Miller, one of Sophie’s teachers, found the reason: she was bullied ( 欺凌) online. Sophie received impolite messages on her phone and on Facebook. Miller shared Sophie’s story on the website of The Children’s Society, a children’s group in the United Kingdom. Sophie was not alone. Not long ago, Korean top star, Chui Se-ri killed herself after years of being bullied online. According to a report in September, one in three young people, in 30 countries, said they were ever bullied online. Twenty percent of those bulliedstudents chose not to go to school because of it. The study surveyed(调查) more than 170,000 young people aged 13-24 from countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South America. Most of them said social media, like Facebook and Twitter, are the most common places for online bullying.At the same time, online bullying could have serious results for young people. If they are bullied online, they may not want to ask the people around them for help. Instead, they just keep the bad feelings to themselves. That may be the reason why they choose to hurt themselves or even kill themselves.To work out the problem, national help and public support are badly needed. The government ( 政府 ) and schools should pay enough attention ( 注意 ) to this problem. At the same time, training for teachers and parents to stop online bullying is also necessary. Meanwhile (与此同时), here is some advice to keep yourself safe on the Internet. First, make sure that you show enough respect (尊重) to others, although yo u don’t have similar ideas, values or beliefs. Second, if you experience online bullying, the best response (反应) to a bully is no response at all. Last but not least, keep a record of anything if it shows proof (证据) of online bullying, like screenshot (截屏). You can use this to report and stop them.【小题1】The writer led in (引入) the topic of thearticleA．by listing some numbers B．by telling Sophie’s storyC．by sharing his ideas D．by reporting the latest news 【小题2】What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A．Facebook and Twitter are the most common places for online bullying.B．Online bullying is troubling a large number of young people these days.C．The government has already made some rules to stop online bullying.D．If the public (公众) don’t pay enough attention, this problem may become worse.【小题3】If someone sends impolite messages to you online, which of the following is the best?a. call the policeb. make a responsec. keep arecord d. send impolite messages backA．a,b B．b,c C．c,d D．a,c【小题4】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?（①=Para.1② Para. 2③ Para. 3④ Para. 4⑤ Para. 5 ⑥ Para. 6）A．①，②③④，⑤⑥B．①，②③④⑤，⑥C．①②，③④，⑤⑥D．①②，③④⑤，⑥四、根据首字母填空26.
